H ays pride includes not just Hays, the town, but Hays, the university town. On April 21, 1977, Hays took a step up with the college as it officially became a university. Just as Hays is unusual. Fort Hays State is also one of a kind. One unique feature of Fort Hays State is its location. Not only does it sit on the edge of city lim- its, but it is also built by a creek. Sitting on the banks of Big Creek are FHS’s 32 buildings, each composed of the native limestone that is characteristic of western Kansas. Lastly, Fort Hays State is unique because of its stu- dents. With a fall enrollment of 5,678, a diverse mixture of backgrounds is present. Students from over 30 states and 28 foreign countries attended. © Opening
